Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Allow businesses in the Hospitality sector to continue the sale of alcoholic products upon the reopening of public houses in April.
Because alcoholic beverages are the key products to securing the financial stability of the hospitality business. It's the reason people go to them and it's the reason
the property owners financial stability and peoples jobs in the hospitality are held secure, while also help build our economy. For the government to infringe on peoples right to chose on wether to indulge these products is a reprehensible infringement on both our civil and fundamental rights.

Why it was rejected

The UK Government or Parliament was already taking the action it asked for.

The Government's Spring 2021 roadmap states that when hospitality opens there will be no need for customers to order a substantial meal with alcoholic drinks and no curfew, although customers must order, eat and drink while seated: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/covid-19-response-spring-2021/covid-19-response-spring-2021-summary#roadmap-out-of-lockdown
